Question: Is iOS 9 Still Secure?
Contents

The bottom line is that anything still running iOS 9 is already vulnerable (there have been loads of iOS security fixes released since iOS 9 support ended) so you’re already skating on thin ice.

Is iOS 9 secure?

You’re worry about almost nothing. iOS 9 is still plenty secure, and unless your mom is visiting questionable websites, she’ll be just fine. Apple does occasionally release security updates for older iOS versions when a serious flaw is found (see iOS 7.0. 6 and iOS 6.1.

How long will iOS 9 be supported?

Current versions of iOS now stretch support for up to five years, which is much longer than what you can expect from any premium Android phone. It seems that Apple wants to keep the momentum going with its next iOS update and that means your old iPhone from five years ago could continue to live for another year.
